The system disk is on an Adaptec 2940. The aic driver suffers from major bitrot. Is there any good reason why you don't put it on the AHA2940's bus? The 1522 controller doesn't do any good anyway, even if its driver were in better shape. It's PIO only, so you burn a lot of resources while the 2940 probably won't even notice the light tape load. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
